Please select the city you wish to fly from in the origin drop-down menu and ‘Rail and Fly’ in the destination drop-down menu. The same concept applies in reverse - select
as your destination (Rail and Fly).

Continue through the booking process as normal but be warned that the Deutsche Bahn train times displayed in the booking engine are fictitious. You will need to check with Deutsche Bahn directly for the right schedule. However, the Etihad flight times are correct, and you must be at the airport at least 2 hours before check in closes.

Please note that the rail ticket cannot be printed earlier
than 72 hours before departure
